“The flexibility ALTHEA has shown to accommodate innovations and improvements at our hospitals has been second to none. The ability to adapt every aspect of the managed service to each of our departmental needs throughout our long-term contract is a huge benefit to us as well as our patients, with newly-refurbished departments and state-of-the-art equipment contributing to both an increase in staff morale and improved patient experience.”

“ALTHEA has allowed us to gain greater value from equipment required to deliver patient care. All of our kit is regularly serviced and maintained by ALTHEA as part of the contract to maximise its availability to the service. This results in more reliable equipment, allows us to deliver a more efficient service and thereby provide the best care possible to patients across our hospitals.”

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & PERFORMANCE, DERBY TEACHING HOSPITALS

“The new equipment will enable us to deliver innovative scanning techniques as well as meet the ever-expanding service requirements for both planned and non-elective patients.”

MR LEAD RADIOGRAPHER, WHITTINGTON HEALTH
